Will Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra ward off coronavirus?
Hmm. Unfortunately, the SARS-CoV-2 virus, popularly known as COVID-19, doesn’t know Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra mantra. Even if it does, it wouldn’t care. It just does its Dharma. That’s all. Obviously, we have to take all precautions and care as instructed by the authorities. The mantra won’t do it for you.
Still, I would suggest you recite the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra at lease 108 times a day, but only if you clearly understand the real meaning and the science behind it. I can assure you will become blissfully happy.
Confused? Eh?
There is no point in reciting any sacred mantra and chant or performing any ritual, until and unless you know the science, logic and the concept behind it. Please do not blindly follow any superstitious belief from any religion. For, belief is not the truth, science is. So, let’s learn the science of the mantra. If it convinces you, do it; otherwise don’t.
Hindu sages saw the entire world as one, so all our prayers are universal, inclusive and naturally secular. Our prayers or chants are not the likes of “God Save ONLY Me” that came from foreigners. So please don’t approach Mrityunjaya Mantra mantra with such an idiotic hope that it miraculously would save you from something.
As I said in my previous article (https://udaypai.in/virus-prevention-in-ancient-hindu-script…/ ), the virus is a phenomenon in the spectrum of the universe. It is part of the Cosmos (in Sanskrit, Brahmam). It has the same right that you have in this universe. As said, it just follows it Dharma (Dharma = duty, responsibility, right, and privilege together).
I am copying the question as it is: “Uday sir, Can the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra mantra created by sage Markandeya ward off coronavirus?”….
